Instructions & Biomechanical Cues
1. Lie on a flat bench, holding a barbell with a narrow grip (hands about shoulder-width apart) and arms fully extended above your chest. 2. Keeping your elbows stationary, lower the barbell toward your forehead by bending your elbows, maintaining control throughout the movement. 3. Ensure your upper arms remain perpendicular to the ground and your wrists stay straight. 4. Pause briefly when the barbell is close to your forehead, feeling the stretch in your triceps. 5. Extend your arms back to the starting position, fully straightening your elbows while keeping tension on the triceps. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.",
